This is RRFS real-time experiment system: MPAS_dev4 The configuration of the system since 02/22/2025: 1) domain and grid: CONUS MPAS domain with 3-km cell spacing 2) initial and boundary condition: the operational Rapid Refresh model 3) cold start at 00/12Z and run for 12-h forecast 4) hourly cycle from 01-11Z and 13-23Z, 3-h forecast 5) apply MPAS-JEDI 3DVAR analysis in each cycle The target of this real time: Test MPAS-JEDI 3DVAR analysis Graphics: https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/MPAS/ MATS verification: mpas_dev4 /home/role.rtrr/mpas_dev4 -> /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4/com/rrfs/v2.0.9 Real-Time Run Logs -------------------------- 00Z 04/30/2025: Changed the IC/LBC data source from RAP to GFS for the determinisitc run -------------------------- 00Z 04/23/2025: Updated the rrfs-workflow to the latest (hash 378bd00), using 30-member init.nc (from GEFS 30-hour forecasts) for its 3DEnVar analysis Assimilated obs: t133, q133, uv233; no JEDIVAR at cold start cycles (00Z, 12Z) Updated links under /home/role.rtrr/: from mpas_dev4 -> /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4/com/rrfs/v2.0.9 to mpas_dev4 -> /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4/com/rrfs/v2.1.0 -------------------------- 00Z 04/08/2025: Added link of QNWFA_QNIFA_SIGMA_MONTHLY.dat file to the lbc run directory for aerosol initialization, to be consistent with the ic task -------------------------- 15Z 04/03/2025: Turned off uv233 assimilation (fit ratio for wind >50%), assimilating t133 only Turned off balance part in static BEC in parm.jedivar.yaml -------------------------- 00Z 04/03/2025: Checked out latest rrf-workflow (hash de329e0) but still use the same experimental static BEC as previous (160km, 6levs, std3) Regenerated conus3km.invariant.nc_L60_RAP and applied in the real-time runs Turned on uv233, in additiont to t133 -------------------------- --Z 03/24/2025: Regenerated conus3km.static.nc using the latest GSL MPAS-Model, and associated conus3km.ugwp_oro_data.nc and applied in the real-time runs -------------------------- 15Z 03/17/2025: to test new static BEC moving to 160km, 6levs, std3 (std0/5): - /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/Chunhua.Zhou/code/rrfs-workflow.14Mar25/fix/static_bec/conus3km_L60.160km.6levs.std3 -------------------------- 03Z 03/17/2025: switch to use the same updated rrfs-workflow as dev3 (/lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/Chunhua.Zhou/code/rrfs-workflow.14Mar25, default static BEC) -------------------------- 18Z 03/10/2025: Switch to use new static BEC files (160km 6 levels, based on 1-year GFS) from Junjun at /scratch1/BMC/wrfruc/jjhu/rundir/mpastest/staticB/mpasB * oneYear/conus3km_L60/core800/nicas_rh0_rv0_160km6levels * oneYear/conus3km_L60/core800/vbal -------------------------- 22Z 03/04/2025: jedivar analysis turned on, with improved observations filtering (filtering out obs with missing QC flags, in addition to QC flags 4-15); 12-hour forecast changed from 4 times (00,06,12,18) daily to 2 times (00,12) -------------------------- 20Z 02/27/2025: mpasjedi_variational.x was commented in jedivar task -------------------------- 12Z 02/24/2025: run data at /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4 -------------------------- 12Z 02/24/2025: run data at /lfs6/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4 -------------------------- --Z 02/09/2025: run data from /lfs5/BMC/wrfruc/MPAS_dev4/v2.0.9/com/rrfs/v2.0.9
